Citation Managers
Citation managers allow you to save and organize references and citations you gather during research. You can import citations from databases such as Academic Search Complete or JSTOR or manually enter citations. You can attach PDFs and images to the citations as well. The citation managers also generate bibliographies and footnotes. There are three main citation managers supported by the Graduate Center: EndNote, RefWorks, and Zotero. Links and descriptions are below. If you want to have an introduction to any or all of the citation managers, make an appointment here.
